SPECHT & SOHNE 42MM Mens Japanese Movement Chronograph Quartz Wristwatch 50M Waterproof - Black

As a collector, I am pleased with the overall quality of this watch by Specht & Sohne - a durable 316L stainless steel case and a reliable Seiko VD53 quartz movement with hacking.
The watch has an assuring heft, with a screw-down crown and firm pushers. The finishing of the case is very professional with a combination of brushed and polished finishes. The watch wears very comfortably on the wrist but would have been better if the screw-down rear cover had not protruded below the case line.
The rubber belt is patterned exactly like the Patek Phillipe watch, down to the clasp design. And like its inspiration, it needs to be cut carefully for sizing. Once cut, there is no extending the belt ever again. Good guides at belt sizing are available on YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkjUToYpW-A
Be sure to size the belt a little larger than usual so that you are comfortable wearing the watch across all seasons.
I would term the chronograph function on this watch as merely cosmetic (hence, the four stars out of five). It only controls the functioning of the sub-dial at 6 o'clock position, serving no practical purpose. The central pointer for seconds is a regular seconds indicator, not chronograph seconds.
For those who like a little flash, the orange belt option is great as it compliments the pointers of the main seconds, the sub-dial and the tiny graduations around the main and sub-dial chapter rings.
All the watches I add to my collection are for the long haul. They are maintained with love and care. Hence, they must have strong fundamentals, as available in this watch.
